Belkin F5D8013 Link LED is solid but I cannot connect to the Internet, Troubleshooting, section

Troubleshooting

Link LED is blinking slowly; I cannot connect to a wireless network or the Internet.

If your Card appears to be functioning properly, but you cannot connect to a network or you have a red wireless icon at the bottom of your screen, the problem may be that there is a mismatch between the network name (SSID) settings in your wireless network properties.

Check the SSID settings to see if they match. The SSID is case-sensitive and the spelling on each computer must be exactly the same in order for the Card to connect to the wireless router (or access point).

Note: To check the SSID settings or look for an available network, double-click the Signal Indicator icon to bring up the “Wireless Networks” screen. Click “Add” if you do not see the network you are trying to connect to and type in the SSID. For more information about setting up an SSID, please reference your router manufacturer’s user manual. If issues persist even at close range, please contact Belkin Technical Support.

Link LED is solid but I cannot connect to the Internet.

If you have a signal but can’t get online or obtain an IP address, the problem may be that there is a mismatch between the encryption key settings in your computer and wireless router (or access point). Check the WEP, WPA, or WPA2 key settings to see if they match. The key is case-sensitive and the spelling on each computer and wireless router (or access point) must be exactly the same in order for the Card to connect to the router. For more information about encryption, please see “Securing your Wi-Fi Network” on page 19 of this User Manual.

If issues persist even at close range, please contact Belkin Technical Support.
